The altar is a simple collection of carved stones in arrangement. You recite a prayer to the Old Gods and make your way back around the lake.
Days later, you return to the remote village and seek out Petward the monk. "Ah, yes - the scroll. Let me fetch it from my study."
"The next task is to undertake a pilgrimage to the ancient temple of Iodis, the Old God of Wisdom. That temple is very far away - you will need many provisions to make the journey."
"If you are committed to fulfilling this prophecy, then prepare yourself. I will send to you a map, with instructions on how to find your way there and back again."
